Flywheel torque specs

I have a poor manual by choice I cant buy one for every motor.So My manual says 480 to 540 inch lbs torque for the flywheel nut.Is this correct? I divide the inch lbs by 12 to get the foot lbs, Which only turn out to be 4ft lbs to 4.5 ft lbs. Thank You!

480 in/lbs divided by 12 would equal 40 ft/lbs. Sounds reasonable.

Thanks for correcting my math!! I thought 4 lbs was short and never thought I could be wrong with such a simple division HaHaHa!
